Minnesota Furs: August Oval Meet

Hey there MNFurs community!

Summer is around the corner and the temperatures are heating up. So come cool down and get together at the Oval with your fellow MNFurs and have some indoor fun. Like our past Oval meets, these are big social gatherings where you can hang out, socialize, & have opportunities to talk to both MNFurs, FM, and MidWinter Frolic staff. As with previous meets here, you are allowed to bring in your own food & beverage items (no alcoholic items) and order in food items.

Community members are welcome to bring in card/tabletop/board games, fursuits (partials & full), and artwork.

– Art trades/commissions

– Fursuit making activities (ex. Duct tape dummy)

– Fursuit photoshoots

Plus more…

On another important note, we are still checking in people with their vaccination cards or a negative test. If you are providing a negative test, this must be done 72 hours before the meet from a clinic or other medical provider and we are NOT accepting at-home test kits.

As we see the increases in COVID cases, masks will be required for this event.

On a final note, please remember to bring your photo ID with you too or if you are a minor with no ID, you can have a parent/guardian vouch for you.

Cost: Free, but donations are greatly appreciated!

RSVP?: Yes, due to the venue’s capacity limits.

COVID-19 and its variants create a fluid situation. We all want to be free of requirements, but our policies may be in flux as this health pandemic continues to evolve.

Minnesota Furs is dedicated to building a safe community and providing educational opportunities for furs everywhere, but focused centrally in Minnesota. This includes providing regular meetings for members and supporting parties to gather together, educational experiences covering a variety of topics, volunteer chances to help support interests that are in line with the interests of many furs, and a chance to help show the positive and unique aspects of furry culture.

Social gatherings include events like furry bowling, fursuit romps, bi-weekly meetups at a few different locations, twice yearly picnics in the spring and fall, and several other community-led events. Educational endeavors have been expanding to include a new scholarship program, plans for a mentorship program, regular panels and discussions about a variety of skills both useful to general furs and about ways to express the unique talent and abilities of furs. Volunteering is also a huge part of the Minnesota Furs mission, assisting at many large events throughout the year, especially Como Zoo’s ZooBoo event.

The members of Minnesota Furs have a broad ranging skill set from event organization, negotiation, publications, business endeavors, and organizational skills. The non-profit hopes to help grow these skills both on a personal level and a community level to improve existing efforts and expand into new ways, providing a chance for the betterment of all. Minnesota Furs is dedicated to a vision of the future where furs are just another facet of life for local communities, assisting and spreading its message and support throughout Minnesota, and beyond.
